Participation with insurance plans is limited. Payment is expected at the initial treatment visit.
We accept checks and all major credit cards. Payment may also be arranged through a third party who can offer a variety of payment plans for you.
Some plans begin at 0% interest while you wait for reimbursement from your insurance company. We will be happy to discuss any questions you may have.
If you have private medical insurance a request for predetermination of benefits can be sent prior to the start of treatment. We can help you with this. Deductibles and co-pay apply. In this way, you will know if your contract covers you for the therapy.
